Do you fall for those fake "EULA violation" emails claiming to be from Blizzard?

Yea Sanbox games usually have more grind than most since to extend the game experience and keep people paying to play, they need to set goals that players will spend tons of time doing stuff for. SWG had tons of grinding as you had to grind every single skill you take, and then the CU made it pure combat grind pretty much.
Yeah I don't get this, only thing I can think of is their bar is full of skills/items and they missed the restore ones
Or they just think they can march in because they are awesome, my brother was like that till I refused to revive him and made him learn to heal out of a battle lol

I wouldn't go that far...I see people do this all the time. They get overconfident and don't think they need to heal or think the healer will take care of them, not considering that the healer needs to regen himself/herself.

It's one of the first skills you have starting out when you barely have anything though. I think its people either being forgetful or reckless.

Yea it's your first ability, but have been in flashpoints with peoples in the 30's who apparently would not use it to heal up. Though I hope its just that they think the healer is going to waste time to heal them instead of them just doing it themselves.
I forget to use it all the time on my operative healer when I'm pvping because any other time I never have enough resource issues to make it worth my while.

It's against their TOS. It's like this in every MMO. Remember the "bomb" or the "plague" that people spread in WoW from instances to cities? People got banned for that. It's really Blizzard's fault for not foreseeing that, but ultimately the users decided to exploit that. I'll say it again, It's against the TOS. Nuff said.

Except that in this case, it probably didn't even happen.

It has an unobvious name and icon, and an overly wordy description that doesn't seem very useful at level 1. I took it off my bar to make room for the onslaught of other abilities I was learning, and by the time I needed it I had 20 other abilities spread across 4 panels in my skills window. I actually tried to read every single one looking for the restore one, but due to the over-wordiness, I guess I missed it.

Not in all cases. For example, it's labeled Recuperate for IA.

That isn't an instant heal ability nor is it unique.. Everyone has a "Seethe" technically..

But corrupted Chiss is the best kind of Chiss.
What's wrong with your face?!
And no one has an instant heal ability. He's talking about Seethe.

yea, I was just referring to my specific case of an Inquisitor since I was the one that originally mentioned not being able to find it.

That one is labeled Seeth or something right? I played Inq in beta, the description seemed pretty self-explanatory to me at the time.
I saw a gunslinger running around with only 1 pistol on tattooine (I usually inspect other players I run across). I haven't played gunslinger, but I was pretty sure you use 2 pistols.
As for that dance ban image, I posted it thinking it was legit. It still wouldn't surprise me if it was. The other, similar images that have been posted have been legit.

That's a cool idea.. particularly for my trooper.

Or simply click the ability on your bar.
Commandos do.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Look guys, it's a clicker
!I skip them all
Operatives/Scoundrels do.
Is it a natural skill, or would I have to go up the healing tree to get it? (Kolto Bomb?)
I'm currently Cybertech on my JG tank and debating if I should switch to Synthweaving. Should the gear I get from running FPs be good enough? In other words, would it be more efficient to make my own mods and buy/loot gear or make my own gear and buy mods?
Which would be more valuable in endgame?
Which would be more valuable in endgame?
My scoundrel is only ~32 and I have orange gear in every slot except waist, just from quests. I don't think crafting gear would help, but crafting mods is very valuable.
The advantages at max level are going to be down to what each crew skill has that only they can use. I can't really speak to them as I haven't bothered to look it up.

Damn right I click. Only 2 abilities.

At what point should I leave Korriban? I'm level 12 and so far I'm just finishing up quests here and there. I was wondering if there was anything I could potentially miss by leaving too soon.

Finish up your quests, spend your commendation medals, never look back.
Unless you haven't gotten the two datacores yet.
BattleMonkey

You can leave usually as soon as your class story gives you quest to leave. You can do the quests on planets for completion sake or for the rewards/xp, but you can often skip quests on pretty much every planet.

Where do I spend those? This is my first MMO so Im very new to this.
I don't know where the vendor is on Korriban, but every commendation vendor is on the Fleet station in the Supplies district.
RiderKairuu
Member
Gotcha, I'll check into that when I log on tonight. Thanks.
BattleMonkey

Theres usually a market on a planet that has a vendor where you can trade in your commendations for stuff, but they are all found in the Supplies section of the Fleet space station when you get there.
Umm let me rephrase that. No one has an instant heal ability that heals you to 100%. Which is what I thought was being stated originally.
I think the commendation vendor for Quesh is actually only the planet. I couldn't find one on the Imperial Fleet.
You can turn that effect off, if you don't like it.

I wish you could choose what level of dark showed instead of just off and on.
I want to keep the orange eyes without all the black around the eyes/mouth. Is that possible too? Highly doubt it

Nope. It's all or nothing.
